Does anyone know any good jsp host that is reliable and affordable.It must not be more than 12 dollars per month.

Thank you

if you are willing to use tomcat jsp, which as far as i know is almost the same as JSPTM then most webhosts that use cpanel tend to have it installed.

mmm...let's see;

www.hostiva.com supports JSP with tomcat. But they are not focused on JSP hosting as www.servlets.net Drop them a mail ask for more info. (Whether they are having any problem with resource hungry JSP :D )

I guess www.downtownhost offers JSP plans. Not sure it is tomcat or whatever. They have good support & as I know they use servers from venturesonline.com (Verio NOC)

I recommend you to go with a host using Resin (www.caucho.com) as their JSP engine. Resin is more stable than tomcat.

Good luck

Mmm.. I don't know if I can answer here.
If not, please mod. delete my post

But we do support JSP with Tomcat 3.2.2

I just want to clarify this :)

You can try searching by going to:

You can also do a search on google.com

Hello,

CWIHosting sounds quite attractive,but i hate it's $25 setup fee.
I found that there's not many jsp/servlet hosting company out there.Many of them their price are quite expensive and not many features.Anyone know any other jsp host that are reliable and also affordable?

Thankyou.

Tomcat is not only almost the same, it's THE official reference implementation for Java Servlet and JSP technologies. http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat

Is it really included in CPanel? If so, then it's amazing that there is next to no offer for shared JSP hosting.

There is a JSP plug in in cpanel.net; but i heard that it is not in production quality for shared hosting. Anybody have experience with it?:confused:

Java hosting is a completly different animal. I would not trust running a *real* java application using the cpanel stuff. We use tomcat, but we have java techs that have to debug the server sometimes, and not to mention the HUGE memory requirements needed to host applications. The list goes on and on...

I second that. We had to dedicate a server just for jsp/servlet hosting because of the memory requirements. It was eating too much over on the web hosting server. Even some other java apps eat up a lot of memory. Unless you run a 100% shared JSP/Servlet environment (no personal/private JVMs), you're going to lose a lot of RAM. Enter JBoss for EJB into the picture and your memory goes even faster. :)

Tomcat sucks on the resources and the cpanel plugin sucks even worse.

Has anyone done a comparison of resin and tomcat to see if resin uses less memory?

www.caucho.com has a comparison chart; But wish to have personal experiences from folks here ;)

Just found this one,from the same site as {NIRMANI} has given.

Yes, I am curious also how much faster resin is. It looks like its 3 times faster, but you are also dealing with the cost of a license. Which you might could just beef up the server with.

Those comparisons are talking about the speed. I could care less about that, tomcat is fast enough for most. What I am worried about is the CPU load and most importantly the Memory usage and memory leaks.

For example Tomcat was put on almost a brand new machine with a handful of domains. The memory usage averaged about 10%. After tomcat was instlled, it crept up to 20-25% and stays there. So tomcat definitally seems to have a memory issue considering it was just installed and not being used for any real tasks yet.

Another thing I have heard about Resin is that there are less features than Tomcat... So I guess it comes down to justifying the cost and migration to Resin...

Good luck

I would NOT recommend CWIHosting.com. I used them before, not even for JSP just regular hosting. Their service was abominable, their servers slow, and their attitude poor.

There are plenty of other choices out there. Avoid this one...
